las.Proper dubstep has thrived in the underground for the last 10 years, and will continue to do so. Poppy, commercial, mid-range cack is what beatport is referring to (which is unfortunately the sort of music with which many people identify dubstep by), a fad which I am very glad is ending

KravtZIts all the same crap. It has a time and a place at least for me to listen to. I could never listen to it at work or driving but at a party is one thing.

maximiliaan"the next big thing" yeah lets all hop on the hype train!
house been here for years! and will stay! i dont even know what i wanted to say.... but i hate all these fuckers going to house parties or house festivals just because everybody is doing it and are only dancing to get their faces on the events facebook.

CalebTheKillianPissed to see progressive house down.
And who likes deep house? No one at my school like deep house at all. No one.[/QUOTE

In the house music world, progressive house is really laughed at, usually only really commercial club kids like prog.
As for nobody at your school liking deep house, well that is expected as this current generation mostly seems to not care wether or not a dj really mixes and you're generation seems mostly into commercial bangers. Sad but true.

Deep house has many facets. To me, the word deep means soulful, rich, musical depth, a sense of meaning, it takes you on a journey into your soul and helps connect your feet to your heart. Good house is about life, love, friendship, relationships etc etc. Take a closer listen and maybe you'll connect too.

DrailYou guys care way too much. Music is about exploration, expression, and getting together. If you are a listener, just keep finding new music and enjoy what you enjoy. If your producing/mixing music just keep finding new music and play/create what you enjoy. It's pretty simple.

I mean, dnb 'died' a while ago according to some right? Than why did I see possibly the best dnb set in my life three weeks ago by Andy c who was a headliner at Shambs? Ska was supposed to have died 15 years ago or so, yet my friend just introduced me to some really sweet new ska.

None of this shit matters, and even if bro step is 'dying' I'm pretty sure excision and Datsik don't give a fuck. Was it even popular when they stared playing it? Get it?

jfpKind of shocked that someone on newschoolers even knows who Frankie Knuckles is, are you familiar with alot of other underground house /Chicago house dj/producers? I used to run a night for six years and we had sneak, Farina, carter, etc etc.

elindeI'm sure there are many people on ns who know who Frankie Knuckles is.

CliffyByroi'm almost offended

CalebTheKillianDeep house is useless bullshit to me. It's stuff like this that I can connect to. You know, things that actually have GOOD melodies

"Commercial bangers" is not what I'm into at all. Also not sure if this is prog house ^^^ but it's the kind of stuff I like.
Also, progressive house isn't laughed at in the house music world, you are just in a specific group that laughs at progressive house.

daOysterAs much as I love EDM trap, I hate to say it's probably going to end up a lot like how the brostep trend kind of went. The only thing it's got going for it is that a lot more people are trying to develop they're own sound.

las.Pretty meh list - I'd regard LAS and Gantz to be above all of those bar 1 (Kahn). Additionally, Skream deciding to jump over to disco doesn't deaden dubstep in any sense, so don't flatter him too much, mixmag. Genres evolve - artists come and go. The commercial side of the genre dying doesn't really mean anything either in terms of the genres journey - it's actually stronger than ever at the moment.
What happened to drum and bass is what's happening to dubstep now (just at a far more explosive rate), and if you've been in music for as long as you say you have then you'll know that these fads, however long they may last, typically don't detract from or even affect the true, core sound

elindeIs this a joke? "EDM Trap" went down that path long ago. Are we talking about the same genre? Turn Down For What?

daOysterI guess you could say Festival Trap even though it's hyphier sub genre but Turn Down For What was just scratching the surface. There is a much more alive underground scene that is starting more known. It's not dead or alive. Just coming back up to the surface.

jfpWell, I don't spend all day everyday on here but from what I have seen the majority have absolutely bad taste in dance music and usually are into laptop djing etc. I wouldn't expect it also because frankies moment in the main spotlight was in the very early years, the respect was always there but Derrick Carter has carried the torch for quite some time.

maximiliaanand i hope that everybody that dances like this gets aids

these are bad examples for the next thing i am going to say (except the last one) but if you really like 80's/90's house, i am part of an facebook group where the best music is posted everyday. if you want to join tell me and ill invite you :)

Alex_Gdude, i dont care what any of you say 09-10 was some of the most fun times to go to raves, just before the over commercialization of dubstep, right when people were starting to play that stuff out. shit was wild.

but i will say this, dubstep and electronic music does suck today. bring on the crunchy jams and instrumental psychedelia!

jfpSounds like 94-98. The earlier years of the original rave scene. It peaked and was basically thru by 1998 even though the scene continued it got really awful and eventually most people dissipated.

As for electronic music sucking today, either you were only into it for the drugs or haven't been exposed to quality. If you have any time. And are into techno and or house look up artists that have been relevant for two or more decades without sign of slowing down or ever stopping.
Guys like Derrick Carter, DJ Sneak, Diz, Mark Farina, Doc Martin, Derrick May, Kevin Saunderson, Carl Cox, Cajmere, I could go on for a while but those guys INVENTED dance music and have been touring the world nonstop for over 20 years. They were big pros in the 90's and they'll continue to be big pro's/legends way past the current edm trends.

N-John360Did you use to run nights in Chicago? I lived there for a sort time, saw D. Carter a bunch at Smart Bar, was a great time. One of the older Chicago DJs, Jordan Field, is playing at a warehouse here in Minneapolis in two weeks. As I said in my previous post, more of a techno head but I'm still psyched, the venue is awesome.
